The Stacy King comment from the other night about Ersan wearing the Post Me Up sign still cracks me up. As seen last night, if he doesn't hit shots, he is a huge net negative (4-14 OUCH!). He may be playing his way back to the bench sooner than later. Boylan's comment about size makes it sound like he's already considering a change. Either Henson at PF or a Sanders PF/Dalembert C lineup sounds good to me.

Remove, if you will, BENO's 7-12 shooting, andthen the team's numbers resemble that of the poor shooting Ersan.It is why this team shot 39% in that game; dangerously close 'to the season average. -ALL_ parties Must pick up their shooting.And, while it seems Monta/BJ have tempered the sheer number of shots going up; sadly, there seems to be little change as the number going in remains dismal. (though Monta was I believe 6-12 that night). ---It continues to fasinate me that a team who seems to have a philosophy of running / spreading / then shooting their best shot can only muster up39% FG average. One would think...if not hope...that if such a style is to be their commitment, then, your GM would go out and actually find shooters who can shoot better then 40% on average?***I ask much from a man whose 'plan' remains under lock n key>

I like Boyland a lot, but contract or no contract... he needs to know when to pull Ersan if his shot isn't falling, or anybody's shot isn't falling, it takes tempo away from the whole team.

Speaking of sending down Lamb, if they aren't going to find any minutes for Harris, wouldn't it be a good idea if they did the same thing for him, that they're doing for Lamb, he needs minutes in the worst way, and surely he won't get them on this bench.

Veteran's like Gooden, Dalembert & Eilyasova know better how to deal with not havingany playing time, in the NBA... in Harris' case it's probably stunting his growth a bit.

Yeah!!! no need to get Xcited, were're 2-1 under the Jimmy Boy regime, Sport Fans. Let's do sum 'freestylin' on this roadtrip, show them, what fer'

Doom & Gloom is only reserved for these two 'Jacks':

"Nicholson is one of the franchise’s most notable fans. He has been a Lakers season ticket holder since 1970 and a fixture sitting courtside at the team’s home games for years.

On Friday night, he appeared to be so disgusted with the Lakers’ play that he left the game with the team down 103-81 and 7:31 remaining. But that’s not all — Nicholson also took actor Adam Sandler with him."

I can almost see it now............................'Here's Johnny' ordering @ Miss Katie's Diner.............................. "I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules."

This (hopeful?) note comes from a wages of wins article on the before-his-time wisdom of Hubie Brown:

"Seeing these quotes made me appreciate Hubie Brown and his understanding of the game. One other interesting thing to note is that when we examine coaches that were able to change player performance significantly, Hubie Brown (in his time in the NBA) was not found to impact player performance. And this makes me revisit a thought I've had before. Understanding a problem may not always translate to solving the problem. Things like lineups and chemistry may not be as easy to solve as we’d like. That said, it’s refreshing to see that Brown was able to recognize what wins games a full 20-30 years before the “advanced” stats movement came about."

I'm looking forward to seeing how the Bucks react tomorrow after losing to the lowly Pistons. Hopefully they get mad and take it out on the Raptors. This is the most winnable game of this 4 game road trip.

I'd say today's is the 3rd most winnable game on the trip. It's all about how teams are playing when you catch them. Raptors have won 7 out of 10 (so has Detroit). Fakers have lost 6 in a row and have been gashed by injuries; Phoenix is 2-8. Couild they finally win in Phoenix?!

That said, I agree that it's important that they bounce back with a better game today. Won't be easy though.

(Conference)-8-8...(Division)- 1-5....(Home)10-7......(Away) 4-15--->Raptors appear to play well at home, AND in their Conference.This game is NOT a gimme. And, if Milw> is in Canada, but,"seeing" the Lakers....fogetaboutit?*****

"hey doron, come here. we're sending you from the nba to the d league. but its not a demotion. sure youre going from the bucks to the friggin fire ants, mad ants, whatever but its not a demotion. youll be riding buses rather than charters but its not a demotion. youll run your own errands and have a locker room the size of a phone booth. but, its not a demotion. just keep telling yourself that.

OK...your perception is well taken.If that indeed is how one looks at it, then, so be it.

I would think/hope that D. Lamb does NOT approach this challenge withanything more then coming to grips with the very fact that NOW he'll beplaying hoops...still under contract....and honing his skills for this club,or if history is any indication...his next team unknown as of this writing.*****This move, it seems, is a prelude of a few tweeks to come?Stay tuned>>>****

Time to start force feeding these rookies and Harris.Play em or join Lamb at the next level down. Not much room for such lack luster performances inthis trip.(No TV today) just aswell, after last nights debacle in San Fran I need a sports break. Only so much disappointment I can stand.Dunleavy sr. rumored in Bucks coaching search. Wasn't he looking to buy the Hornets

My condolence's {CCR}. With the Bear in hibernation, in honor of my late father,I wore his Green Bay Hat during the game. Didn't help. Of course, last night with Kaepersink (sp?) at the helm I'm not sure who could have beaten them. Kid is the goods.---By the way. Was it me...or did Aaron Rogers appear somewhat aloof, detached, etc. He didn't have that gitty-up in his step I'm use to seeing. Camera's showed him putting his helmet on aftera 49er score, and his non-verbals seemed like one who was mildlydisinterested? Anyway....as we say on the North Side...."Wait until next year".....>---The game I most want to see (beside the Pack) is on at Noon;same time as the TV-less Bucks. So, my atten. will be withthe rookie from Seattle going against probably the most under-ratedteam in the Post Season in ATL. I suspect there will be good football in Atlanta today. ---'Hey...it happens to everyone....'

>Coming off a magnifico win against NYC the Bulls 'stopped short' (hey, thats the Bucks move) of then beating a PHX club; losing in embarressingly poor fashion.Sadly, I was somewhat reliefed that the Bucks are not theonly team who can go out a beat the bejesus out of a Alpha Dogonly then to loose to the lower rung club. (all due respect to Det>)---ENJOY your Sunday fella's.....(ladies if your there?)>
